THE GOD EATER - Chapter 683: No Need To Lie.

The rank 8 strength cultivator didn’t like the question that he was asked. That question made him becme gloomy. He wanted to ignore it, but he still responded, saying, “Yeah. So what?”

In response, the rank 8 transformation warrior shrugged and said, “I am just saying that you have more than one reason to get rid of her. It is one thing for her to reject your offer. But if she actually gains enough strength to threaten both you and your alliance, it seems reasonable that you would want to get rid of her.”

These words made the other rank 8 cultivators look at each other meaningfully. They didn’t talk. But even without talking, the rank 8 strength cultivator knew what they were thinking.

He said with a voice full of frustration, “Fine. You have me. I did want to kill her. But I didn’t do it.”

This time, many rank 8 cultivators couldn’t help but snigger. They leered and jeered at him, which frustrated him even more.

So he snorted and said, “She is already dead, and if I killed her, it would mean I have her Divine Metacs. If I already have everything I want to gain from it, why would I lie about killing her? It is not as if anyone will punish me for what I did.”

This time, he made an unrefutable point. No one could deny that he didn’t have much reason to lie about killing her now that the deed had been done and he had secured all the benefits from her death.

But this point didn’t simplify the situation. It only made this situation more complicated because they still didn’t know who killed her, and now they didn’t know why that person would like to keep their identity a secret.

So the rank 8 cultivator of the Pill Refinement Pathway said, “If you didn’t kill her, then who did?”

Her voice was melodious and also smelled like medicinal pills. It was an odd sensation for someone’s voice to have a smell. Loki thought that it was weird.

After speaking, no one else spoke. The rank 8 cultivators looked at each other in suspicion because whoever was responsible for Monarch Golden Lion’s death was also likely to be involved in the death of the other divine being ls who died recently.

When the rank 8 cultivator of the Deceit Pathway thought about this, he said, “It would seem that the person who killed her didn’t want others to know who they were and why they did it because they started by killing other random divine beings to muddy the waters.”

The rank 8 cultivator of the Truth Pathway nodded and said, “It is either that or the person who killed her is an entirely different person who decided to take advantage of the recent murder of divine beings to kill her.”

After thinking about it, Money Body said, “It seems they really don’t want anyone to know who they are. The question is why that is the case.”

“If you ask me, I believe there are three possible reasons for this. The first possible reason is that there are more benefits to be had by hiding the fact that they killed her. The second possible reason is that the person who killed her doesn’t have enough strength to bear the consequences of killing.”

“As for the third reason, it is that the person responsible doesn’t care enough to tell us about it. They might simply be unwilling to reveal their plans, or they want us to rack our heads trying to figure out their identities.”

Many divine beings nodded in agreement when they heard this. Some other divine beings also thought of more possible reasons, but everyone could agree that these three reasons were the most plausible.

The rank 8 enslavement cultivator looked at Loki and said, “It doesn’t matter what their identity is and whether they want to reveal it or not. What matters right now is that this person, who is using the Golden Lion Strength Metac, is related to the killer.”

The rank 8 forging cultivator nodded in agreement as she said, “If we make a move against this fellow, we should be able to get more information about the matter.”

The rank 8 strength cultivator grinned and said, “I like that plan very much.”

The rank 8 transformation cultivator looked at with a smile as he said, “Is it because you covet the Golden Lion Strength Metac?”

The rank 8 strength cultivator ignored the question and said, “I am willing to do all of you a favor by making the first move. In fact, I think I should just take on this heavy responsibility and deal with this on my own.”

As he spoke, he was already taking a step towards Loki. From his actions, it was clear that he wasn’t going to take no for an answer in regard to his suggestion. It was also clear that he coveted the Golden Lion Strength Metac.

The other rank 8 divine beings watched him make a move with amusement. None of them was particularly interested in the Golden Lion Strength Metac, so they were willing to let him have his way.

They were not interested in the Golden Lion Strength Metac because it wasn’t a Divine Metac of their pathway. There was also the fact that none of us was in dire need of a Divine Metac to use.

With their great strength, if they needed a Divine Metac, they would already have it. If there is one reason why they can’t have a Divine Metac they want, it will be the life-leech and the burden of 10,000 years of lifespan every ten years that it will saddle them with.

When the life-leech is combined with the fact that the Golden Lion Strength Metac doesn’t belong to their pathway, they are willing to let him have it as long as they get the answers they came for.

As for Monarch Dragon Strength, the rank 8 strength cultivator, he believed that the Golden Lion Strength Divine Metac would be very easy to acquire. This was because his target possessed only one Divine Position.
